YAY! Making of Officer Caitlyn, this will be a pretty short tutorial because 1) I didn't take that many pictures and 2) There isn't much clothing there :P

Woo. Kinda a rough pattern I just drew out for a mock. Random and stuff.

After basting it together, it was... FUCKING HUGE. So I just pinned it on my dress form :D

Here is the front of the mock, roughly done :3 (Later I brought it up because it was really long)

After figuring out the pieces and stuff, I transferred my mock onto solid paper to then make into the pattern for the actual garment :D

YAY! The actual fabric :3 I made sure I cut out the garment and then a lining for it xD Out of the same fabric... YEAH.

HERE'S A CLOSE UP PICTURE OF MY PATTERN PIECES. YES. SEE THEM? YEAH.

Remember! Ironing is important :D Ironing your seams open will make stuff SO much better. Seriously ;A;

Here's just the outer part of the shirt. I ended up shortening the pattern of the shirt to make it more accurate, after I worked on the lining.

Here's the finished part top without the sleeves. Woo hoo. It's lined and stuff! YAY.

This was when I got my shoes for my Officer Caitlyn :D Aren't they cute? Ebay OP.

PLEATED SKIRT TIME. ARGHJALSJLKASAGAS;

I feel like the pleated skirt is kinda self explanatory, so I didn't really add any comments... Yeah. It's really short with a 7in black zipper in the back, 4 belt loops, instead of the bottom hem, there's a clean fold, and the waistband is neatly hand tacked in.

COLLAR AND TIE :D

I found this pattern off a website for making detachable collars :3 So I just used it and slightly modified it.

Here's what it looks like, I forgot to take any pictures of the tie... But it's an actual mini tie that strings through the collar. And then it snaps on the side and in the middle.

YUP! That's how my tie looks legit :D It's actual a little mini tie that I made myself and then tied... xD It's all interfaced and stuff too. Super cute<3 I love it.

GLOVES

When I got my gloves, they were really... BIG.

I was not very happy when I got them D: The design and material were right but it was SO big. So I decided to pick it all apart and take them in. And it ended up working really well<3

Here's a picture of it all taken apart.

The glove with a lot of the pieces taken out and a few parts cut smaller/out.

WOOT. The glove fits<3

Here's the modified new glove vs. the glove that I bought off Ebay.

:D Here are all the little leftover pieces and stuff. YUP.

Here's what we have so far :D WOOT.

Here's the thingy with sleeves... I forgot to take pictures of them while I was making it. Then I was deciding between the lace bra or the normal one xD I also added the petticoat underneath<3

Yeah. Makeup test and the time I figured out I wanted to use my real hair :D

Mumble jumble: So basically I forgot to take pictures of everything else like my bullet straps and stuff and the hat... But I pretty much bought the hats off a sex shop website and then covered it in the fabric that I used on my costume with a custom pattern I made :DI made the straps really simply with velcro... And then the bullets are sanded down marker caps painted gold with paper covers.WHOA PICTURE DUMP. HERE'S SOME OTHER SHIT.

YUP<3 This was kinda a shitty fast tutorial :D But if you have any questions, leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer<3 Here's a full body shot of my Officer Caitlyn cosplay<3 Hope you enjoy :D

No! :3 I bought one hat and then roughly cut out a roundish shape that I wanted about the size of the top of the hat, then measured the circumference of that shape and the circumference of the base of the hat and sewed the two pieces together and then folded the bottom seam under and hotglued it ontop of the already existing hat :3

How did you make the leg band the bullets were attached to and do you have any recommendations for making leg and arm bands for the original caitlyn skin?

Hi! I was wondering what kind of fabric you used for the top. I've been planning on cosplaying Officer Caitlyn for a while now but I'm kind of unsure about the fabric :c
